    Not for a retail purchase such as that. It’s just the default screen in many payment systems now.

    I see some folks commenting that they don’t tip fo “to-go” — I always do, usually about 15%, because an employee went through the process of putting your order together and putting it into containers that cost that business money. And if it’s a place I order from often, they often remember that and are extra nice.






  • When I was younger, right up through college age, I’d occasionally have precog dreams. Not dejavu — I’d dream an event, a place, a person, and then the event would happen, we’d go by that place, I’d meet that person. Our society does not believe in these types of things, so there is no way to learn how to maintain or build on these abilities, so they faded away.

    Very first one I really remember, our TV was out for repairs and I dreamt we got it back and my dad was watching my favorite show. I told my mom that morning about the dream, and she said, “they haven’t fixed it, we don’t know when we will get the TV back.” Came home from school and the TV was back!



  • One cat is on a prescription kidney diet (Royal Canin). The others get Halo dry chicken. Made with chicken, no by-products or meal. Shiny coats and happy cats. Inside cat also gets dental treats, and eats the other cat’s expensive prescription diet when she can. I have a cat-mate fountain, it works well, even though I’ve had to replace the pump.




  • Yeah, sometimes, but I remember: Stress is not what happens to you; it’s how you react to what happens to you.

    A lot of the little things that wear you down can be negative because of the way you look at them, or the amount of importance you give them. Looking at it another way, or comparing it to something more important, can change how depressing it could be.

    Making breakfast and I drop something on the floor: what the hell, now the whole breakfast is ruined! OR well that was clumsy, let’s see what alternative meal I can come up with, challenge accepted.

    Wake up with a headache: aw hell, this is a miserable start to the day, well, I’m sure it’s only gonna go downhill from here. OR Well, I guess I let myself get dehydrated. Drink some water, take some Excedrin, and lie back down for 15 minutes, and then on with my day.

    You can train yourself to not wallow, and find that your mindset will change to be more positive, and/or less dramatic. Maybe not now, but every new setback is a new chance to try.

    All that being said, sometimes I’ll just slam the bedroom door and lie down in bed and cuddle my cats for awhile.

    Hang in there!
